Staff and property was excellent.

Historic

Its probably the best place I have stayed as of yet, from my exploration its not really missing anything, a few scars here and there yet they tell a story. some parts need restoration, bath tubs and fittings would be the ones actually 'needed' to prevent rotting through and damaging the foundation via inflation. Other wise its good as is. That is my opinion on the matter, I dont know if there is barrier between the tub and the building if so it can be left alone, if my version of a fix would be remove the rust in a circle, and with new sealant put in a lovely patterns

Beautiful grounds, peaceful

So cute could see the deer from our room just loved it

Very nice staff

Wonderful staff, hotel and location. Walkable to parks, grounds were lovely and everyone was very helpful. Clean, large rooms and dining on site.

Perfect

Really a great location if you want to go to the park. Has a bus to go to Nara Station.

Overpriced and poor facilities, hotel in need of complete renovation.

The location is excellent and the exterior of the hotel is ok but the inside of the hotel is worn and tired and in desperate need of renovation - particularly for the very high price. Staff friendly but inflexible and mediocre service. Giving The Shining vibes. Not recommended.

Staff members are very friendly and helpful, but the facility is not worth the cost. Spider on bed

Staff are incredibly nice and helpful. Japanese breakfast was incredible with fish option. Facility is immaculate and well located to temples. Highly recommend this hotel.

A beautiful old building, a wonderful Suite with two bathrooms, two balconies unfortunately no balcony furniture to sit outside, the staff was helpful and friendly. Great location to reach many Nara highlights, restaurants and shops by foot.

A lovely historic building in a great location next to the wonderful park where the deer roam. Great breakfast, we had the second best eggs benedict of our experience. Staff very sweet and helpful.

Beautiful historic property that was the perfect setting for our stay in Nara.

Hotel itself is very nice but too many bus tours and front desk services are poor.

Wonderful!

Sloppy service. Terrible food. Very expensive

This is a landmark historic hotel, dripping with stories of famous guests. It is grand, warm, welcoming, quiet, comfortable and convenient to Nara Park, Kintetsu Station and many temples. I stayed in the new side which feels very 1990s American hotel style. Roomy for Japan and with a nice balcony. The bar, tea room, sakura lounge and dining room were all comfortable and classy. This is a wonderful place to stay.
